Daniel Friedman(@DanFriedman81):When progressives were trumpeting statistics claiming that New York was the safest it had ever been, I insisted the stats were misleading, and that Manhattan felt noticeably more dangerous, that scary encounters with crazy people were becoming more common and that encampments and junkies were everywhere on city sidewalks It turns out what I said is true. Jessica Tisch’s hotspot policing has been extremely successful in reducing crime in the poorest and most violent precincts, but Mamdani’s edicts against public order policing and Alvin Bragg’s insistence on releasing repeat offenders means that crime is surging in Manhattan and reductions in shootings and robberies in the Bronx and East Brooklyn are masking declining public safety and order in Midtown, the Village and the Upper West Side. Any time the statistics contradict the vibes, the vibes are the truth and the stats are a lie.

Felony crime in Central Park, ytd, is nearly 62 percent higher than in the year before the pandemic. Like many parts of NYC, Central Park is consistently less safe than it once was. Yet the city council and mayor are moving to take away dozens of pairs of Jane-Jacobs-style eyes on the street from the park -- the men and women slowly and continuously viewing the drive and paths from up high in a carriage, including into the evening and late-night hours. Ripping apart complex urbanism for fanatical special interests is rarely a good idea.
